I live in Illinois and have never been asked for an ID.
This should be a Federal law!
That is pathetic they don’t require ID. Actually, it is criminal, frankly.
I don’t think any of the states require a photo ID, or any ID for that matter.
Maybe I will go vote several times today....
Got nothing else to do.
Same thing in illinois, just asked your name and address and handed you a ballot. This being illinois though, I am pretty sure I can go vote again this afternoon.
I also voted in Ohio on Saturday. You fill out a form that includes some written identification like your license number or the last 4 digits of your SSN. Then they take this form to the ‘back room’ where a contingent of poll workers check your information. After they make sure you are a real person they add your form to their own ‘passed’ pile which is picked up by someone eventually who then calls the names and hands out the ballots. So, there is a identity check (of sorts) and now you know the reason for the nonlinear ballot handout.
Here in Ohio if you vote at your own precint you need to show identification and sign next to your name on a sheet the poll workers have. I believe this sheet also has your last signature so there is an additional check that you are still the same person as last time.
I live in south central OH (Dayton) and am always asked for ID.
Ohio state law requires you to show ID when you vote in person. You have to show ID when you sign in.
I'm a little confused about him saying that he had to fill out an absentee ballot. You have to provide either the last four digits of your SSN or your driver's license number, or some other documentation that I can't remember in order to get an absentee ballot. You also have to provide the same information on the inner envelope that the absentee ballot goes into. That's the method used to verify identities of voters using absentee ballots.
I don't know how the new early on site voting works. I voted by absentee ballot this year.
